Alumni weekend

Every year the BYU baseball team has an alumni golf tournament and game.  It is a weekend I always look forward to because Mike's old teammates and wives come in town and we get to hang out.  It's also fun to watch the guys act like they are in college again.  
 There were lots of sporting events that took place in our backyard: football, baseball, and basketball.
 Paul, Clayton, Mike, and Ranger played football every night. Their competitiveness never leaves.  Mike ran through the water fall and cut his foot to catch the ball, Paul dove into the slide to catch a baseball, and Ranger ran into the fence in an attempt to catch a homerun ball.
 It's cool in the evening so Izzy got to sport her BYU sweatshirt that Jen got her.
 More football.
 Izzy entertained herself with her make-up and play-doh while the guys played.
 Izzy got to play with Dylan
Izzy loved Baby Alan.  She would not leave him alone.  One day while he was napping Elizabeth heard, "hi Baby Alan" on the monitor.  She looked at the screen and Izzy was in his room talking to him while he was sleeping.
On Saturday while the boys were golfing we went to the animal farm, which is one of Izzy's favorite places.
Izzy and Dylan
Izzy loves the pony ride at the animal farm.  Of course today, she wanted to ride the horse, not the ponies, because she is a big girl.  She is growing up so fast.
The wagon ride
Saturday night we barbecued before the BYU vs Utah game.  Too bad the game sucked.
All smiles before the game.  We love having Derdle and Danny around; they are awesome!
